Hi there! I am a recent political studies grad, currently working as a policy analyst in Montreal, but I’ll be starting my graduate studies in Urban and Regional Planning soon.

I am also married to my best friend, (Andrej) Roman Korenic, who is also on CS!

I enjoy going on walks and snowshoeing in the winter with my husband and exploring local cafes together across the city.

I am passionate about human rights, social justice, urban planning, art, and many other things. I am a lifelong learner and I am always keen to learn from others and their experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting and interacting with new people is a key component when traveling. There is so much to learn, experience, and so many friends to make!

I had my first CS experience with my partner who introduced me to it. We both CSed in Vermont with a lovely couple and their cat and had a wonderful time!
